whats metas actual main usecase for llms? don’t think that many ppl are using the chat thing in whatsapp? im sure there are backend systems driving recommendations and ads?
The main use case for LLMs is to dazzle capitalists who now believe they’ve at the precipice of a revolution to eliminate human labor; by doing so the AI proprietors capture the majority of the world’s compute resources for data centers so that society, now reliant on computers and electronic communication for everyday tasks, is forced to rent cloud applications and storage from them forever, where they can monitor consumer and political sentiment, control news narratives and therefore markets, and squash dissent before it can affect their bottom line. And if you dare speak up you can be debanked without a warrant, it’s in your TOS.
Well they’re developing llama I believe. Which (credit where credit is due), is one of the few open source gpl language models. And you can run it locally, without imposed limits or sending tons of data off to Meta servers.
They recently said they’re going to start selling compute to other LLM companies. This after claiming all the build out was for internal LLM use. Looks to me like you’re right and they’ve given up on devoting their compute to a product
i believe that’s the primary source of revenue for musk’s llm interests as well (and has largely given up on homegrown llm).
everyone thinks that battling aws is their out for infinity billions sunk? with zero existing enterprise IT sales… against micrsoft and google as well? 🙃
Well they’re building a Polymarket competitor now, bc, god forbid something drew some attention away from Meta products for once, and Zuck can’t stand not being the center of everyone’s world.
Seriously, they bought IG, had to make Messenger, bought WhatsApp, tried to buy snap, bought Oculus, and according to wiki bought about 100 other companies over the years… Mark, go fuck yourself.

Please drink a fucking god damn verification can.

unfortunately llama is a long way from gpl, and largely abandoned.
you really need to look at chinese models (eg qwen and kimi) if you want osi compatible licence in a model thats actually going anywhere.

Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t really have my finger on the pulse of AI tech, but llama was a thing I remembered.
credit where its due, it really spawned the “ecosystem” which is still reflected in a lot of tooling

Renting out capacity sounds like a good opportunity for the LLM money circlejerk to make another round
It would be hilarious if no one bought in.
